6 Shimini Atzareth What Does It Mean? The rabbis say: God wants Israel to hang around for one more day The Holy One, blessed be He, said to Israel, My children, I know that during all seven days of the Feast of Tabernacles you have been occupied with offerings in behalf of the nations of the earth. But let this day be a day of rejoicing solely for you and Me. I shall not ask you for too burdensome an offering -- only one bullock and one ram. Pesikta Rabbati 52.7 Like Shavuot except moved to avoid the rainy season 6

13 Not the End. A New Beginning! 13

14 In the Beginning... God Created No time (as we know it) No Seven Day Cycle No Death (until the fall of Adam) One Commandment Be Fruitful and Multiply Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good... NKJ Genesis 1:31 14

15 Olam HaBa the Coming World An age of New things Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful. An age of fewer laws No Death God with us An age where everything is Very Good! NKJ Revelation 21:5 15

16 New Heaven New Earth For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; And the former shall not be remembered or come to mind. 18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; For behold, I create Jerusalem as a rejoicing, And her people a joy. KJV Isaiah 65:17-18 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. NKJ Revelation 21:1 16

17 City of Gold And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God The construction of its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass. 19 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones... Revelation 21:10-19 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. NKJ Revelation 21:3 17

18 I will rejoice in Jerusalem, And joy in My people; The voice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her, Nor the voice of crying. NKJ Isaiah 65:19 "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. NKJ Revelation 21:4 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. NKJ Revelation 20:

19 Speculation... 19

20 No More Time Time the separation of day from night Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day. NKJ Genesis 1:3-5 Without Time: No time cycles No more aging cycles no death No hurry 20

21 No More Time Time the separation of day from night The sun shall no longer be your light by day, Nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you; But the LORD will be to you an everlasting light, And your God your glory. 20 Your sun shall no longer go down, Nor shall your moon withdraw itself; For the LORD will be your everlasting light, And the days of your mourning shall be ended. Without Time: No time cycles No more aging cycles no death No hurry Isaiah 60:

22 No More Time Without Time: No Time cycles, and therefore: No Sabbath or Moedim??? Consider this: "For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. NAU Matthew 5:18 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. NKJ Revelation 21:1 22

23 Of the 613, at least 18 pertain to death (murder, manslaughter, punishment, etc.) 16 pertain to war 33 pertain to the temple / tabernacle 101 pertain to sacrifices 27 pertain to the priests 7 pertain to the king If these laws are going to pass away (because they are no longer needed) Could not the Sabbath and Holy Days pass away also, since we have now entered the Rest pictured by Shabbat? For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. 9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. NKJ Hebrews 4:8-10 (Psalm 95:11) 23

24 The Olam HaBa Code of Conduct You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind... You shall love your neighbor as yourself... 24

25 What is Your Image of the Olam Haba? 25

26 As for me and my house... Let s get the road right the first time! 26

27 But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him." NKJ 1 Corinthians 2:9 27

28 the Day After Time The Plan of Salvation Has Been Completed Salvation is Complete 28

29 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. Revelation 22:1-3 29

30 They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. Revelation 22:4 14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. Revelation 22:14 30

31 " Hear, O Israel: The LORD is our God, the LORD alone. 5 You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might... 31

32 ... 6 Take to heart these instructions with which I charge you this day. 7 Impress them upon your children. Recite them when you stay at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them serve as a symbol on your forehead; 9 inscribe them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. TNK Deuteronomy 6:4-9 32
